Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall this product does exactly what I need. I use it for saving audio books, TV shows, movies, etc. Unfortunately, as a previous reviewer stated, a significant amount of the "available resources" are taken up by something else and the full size was not available.

Purchased 2 t make a JBOD initially, but will grab a few more to use as a RAID setup for well, whatever! The only draw back is they are only 5400 RPM. But slow and USB3.1 still keeps you in the race.

Much faster than expected considering that it's not an SSD. Pretty impressed!

The external hard drive works seamlessly with my iMac. I've been looking at this unit for months waiting for a great price. Happy with the transaction and it works as stated.

I have had no problems with this in the short time I have had it. It booted up quickly after being plugged in and had performed perfectly in the three weeks I have been using it.

Excellent for shucking. You lose the warranty (they send you a busted refurbished one anyway) but you gain better cooling and life span.

Love that external drives are finally increasing by leaps and bounds on storage. I use as backup of smaller external drives.. can never have enough backup of a backup too! WD has earned my trust for a quality product. I do not recall ever having a DOA drive from WD. Like that WD offers online registration and lookup of when my warranty expires. Hoping that harddrive pricing to drop a bit, but seems to stay up there, but periodically am getting more storage for the same price.

great product. now reward me my money, because I am starting to think this money reward mess is a lie

It works well and is quiet enough. It's pretty fast. The price fluctuates on these units quite a lot depending if they're on sale. On sale, they are a good value, otherwise I'd buy a NAS drive and use an enclosure instead.

For the price this is an excellent backup solution. It's a bit noisy but works well pretty good transfer rate on USB 3.0 getting read and write of around 118 Mbytes per second. But the warranty is a bit lacking only one year :( for that one less star.

Top of the line product, make sure you guys are all taking advantage of best buys programs. Sometime you got to give a little more but sometimes you get more back you guys

This drive is well suited for backup of critical files as well as long term storage of data. It isn't the fastest USB 3.0 drive but has delivered read speeds between 150 and 200 MB on my setup.

I BOUGHT IT TO STORE MY PICTURES AND ITS DOING IT. THEY WERE BEING STORED ON THE CLOUD, BUT THATS NO LONGER POSSIBLE. THANK YOU WESTERN DIGITAL AND BEST BUY

Probably a 5900 rpm drive that moves a littlw slow, but for normal use is a fine drive.

bought a bunch of these for a Synology NAS. After 14 months of daily heavy usage I have no issues at all! Would buy again

This HD runs smooth and quick. Great for all my pics, etc.

As always this location excellent customer service, also the product working as expected.

Just what I wanted. I need to get another one. and it's faster than the one I had.

Excellent deal on a Best Buy exclusive. I was able to recycle a failed SSD at Best Buy in exchange for a discount on this HDD. I am using this HDD for storing Chia plots.

That was a great buy for an amazing disk. It is quite and does it job and provide huge capacity for a very attractive price (bought it under black Friday deals).
